Re: [Debconf-team] Diversity Sponsorships
That sounds reasonable to me. It requires less effort to raise awareness
among current participants, and we can pretty easily create an order of
operations for people not currently involved or planning to pre-register.
Can we also include a link to a write-up about the Diversity
Sponsorships (the purpose, the plan, etc)?
cheers,
mdb.
